Need help.......my Macbook Pro will not eject a disc I put in my computer and it only shows up in disk utilities, not on desktop or anywhere else. I have tryed the eject button, terminal durtil tray eject process, control s, and no of these work, can anyone help?!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
Eject it from Disk Utility or iTunes.
Reboot the computer holding the trackpad button or wired mouse button down.
the eject option is not litup in disk utilitys dont see the dvd in itunes.
and the trackpad didn't work
Try creating a burn folder, drop some data in it and press the burn button. It should pop the disc out. Then, just cancel the burn.

1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

thanks but all that did not work...
Twice now, I have had the same problem... It seems that I can only burn in iTunes, if I try burn anywhere else this problem occurs. I've tryed everything. Only thing seem to work is to shut down computer and let it sit for a while then boot it back up and it spits the media out on its own. Any ideas?
